Kipawa Fishing Forum

Not to add fuel to the fire but for the last two years we have relied on locals making the call. But i do know we've also used satellite images as a method when local advice wasn't avail.
So I guess the real question is what method are we using as the benchmark to make the call? Locals, satellite? Other?

I'll let you guys duke it out, I'm personally fine with what ever the majority thinks is best. I was just hoping to get a prize out to the lucky winner......

Anyone else care to chime in?
Or we just drop it entirely this year and agree there is no agreed upon official date for 2025 and thus no prize.
Just trying to keep things light and fun....

We hope to see you up there Todd & Mattie

We'll be at Alwaki 5/23-5/26. We'll be by for sure !

18 days!

Unless you have $20,000 worth of electronics on your boat, and can see exactly if you're on the right spot, it comes down to experience and gut feeling. Maybe a little luck 

4 days and counting ! 
We hope to see you up there Todd & Mattie

Here is what May 2 looked like.
Too bad we can't get a shot of the two previous days

I don't know who called it but I still see ice at the north end May 4th.

The lake skimmed over at night a few times since April 30 - we have had a few -5 mornings and a skim of ice - melted off through the am each time.

But Ice was out on April 30, you could boat anywhere in the lake  - except perhaps very Northern tip , not sure never went there.

I would still say ice out was April 30 this year

Wow
you're persistent.
I looked on the earth satellite shot and there was still ice in the northern half of the late.
I'd say you were wrong

Hi Glen. This is your dock, taken from the bridge

Trip 1 commences in 9-days, 6-hours. Hoping we hit the fishing, not the bugs.
